I scanned one of my directory with clamscan
and it showed that every .exe file is infected:
.../file.exe: Heuristics.W32.Parite.B FOUND
.../file2.exe: Heuristics.W32.Parite.B FOUND
.../file3.exe: Heuristics.W32.Parite.B FOUND
.................................................
I realized that all .exe files on my system are infected with this type of virus.
When I copy infected file to Windows system, ESET antivirus software detects W32/Parite virus instantly but does not delete file. ESET just deletes virus from that file so I still can use it.
ClamAV scan gives option just to delete infected files.
1. Is it possible to delete virus without deleting file and its functionality on Ubuntu?
2. Is this virus harmful and what can it do to my system when I use it with wine?
EDIT
I solved this by installing ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for Linux from here, then I activated TRIAL license and scanned my filesystem. It removed every W32/Parite.B
virus from my .exe files without damaging any file.
